Eyebrow lift / eyebrow correction

An eyebrow lift, also known as an eyebrow lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to change the position and shape of the eyebrows for a more youthful and awake appearance. This procedure can be performed surgically or non-surgically and is ideal for people who suffer from drooping or asymmetrical eyebrows. With an eyebrow lift, sagging eyebrows can be lifted and repositioned.

Why does a brow droop?

The sagging of the eyebrows is caused by the natural ageing process. With age, the skin loses its elasticity and resilience, causing the eyebrows to lose their shape. Genetics, sun exposure and smoking can accelerate the process. Weakness of the brow muscles can also contribute to this.

Eyebrow lifting methods

There are basically different methods for lifting your eyebrows. The method that makes sense in your case depends on your individual factors. We will determine these during the consultation and inform you about all the possible treatment options for you. A basic distinction is made between the following methods:

Surgical methods

The surgical option involves removing excess skin and tightening the remaining skin.

Non-surgical methods

Non-surgical methods include the use of Ultherapy® , Botox or Thread lifting-techniques to lift the eyebrows. The results are usually visible immediately and can last for several months to years, depending on the method chosen.

How long does a brow lift last?

The results of an eyebrow lift vary depending on the method and individual factors. Surgical procedures can last for several years, while non-surgical methods such as Ultherapy®, Botox or thread lifting last for a shorter period of time.

Ultherapy® treatments work for up to a year, Botox injections for around three to six months. Thread lifts last one to two years. Regular visits to the doctor are important for optimum results and possible top-ups.

What are the benefits of an eyebrow lift?

An eyebrow lift can offer numerous advantages:

Improvement of the appearance: By lifting the eyebrows, a younger, fresher and more awake appearance can be achieved.
Symmetry: Asymmetrical eyebrows can be corrected to create a harmonious and aesthetic appearance.
Long-lasting results: Surgical methods in particular offer results that can last for several years. Non-surgical methods also offer remarkable effects, but for a shorter period of time.
Psychological well-being: An improved appearance can increase self-confidence and general well-being.

When does a brow lift make sense?

Due to the natural ageing process, the skin loses its natural elasticity. If the tissue on the forehead sags, the eyebrows can droop, leading to heavy upper eyelids and a tired facial expression.

In order to regain a fresh expression, the eyebrows can be lifted as part of an eyebrow lift after analysing the position of the eyebrows in detail. Upper eyelid lift make sense.

What are the risks and side effects of eyebrow lifting?

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects with brow lifts that should be considered. The exact ones depend on the method chosen.

In general, the following side effects can occur during surgery:

Infections: Although rare, there is a risk of infection, especially during surgical procedures. These can be minimised through careful aftercare and hygienic measures.
Swelling and bruising: Temporary swelling and bruising are not uncommon after a procedure and can last from a few days to a few weeks.
Scarring: Surgical methods may result in scarring, although this is usually inconspicuous.
Asymmetry: There is a risk that the eyebrows may appear asymmetrical after the procedure, which may require correction.
Numbness: In rare cases, temporary or permanent numbness may occur in the treated area.
Allergic reactions: With non-surgical methods such as Botox or thread lifting, allergic reactions to the injected substances can occur.
